INTRO: (4x) VERSE 1: The streets are filled with Christmas cheer At least it's only once a year Perfect parcels tied with perfect bows, And carols ringing in my ear I'm bundled up against the cold Lines wherever gifts are sold Each shop window displays a Christmas scene For everybody young and old Icicles on eavestroughs and tinsel on the tree, But it's a green Christmas for me VERSE 2: Couples skating on the pond {couples skating on the pond} Makin' angels on the lawn {makin' angels on the lawn} Five red mittens drying on the rad And needles shedding tannenbaum Red bows on the railings and snowflakes on the ground, But it's a green Christmas in this town BRIDGE: Green, cos of everything I miss All this mistletoe, no kiss And with every Christmas wish There would be no greater gift (let ring) Than to have this envy lift INSTRUMENTAL: (2x) (8x) VERSE 3: (Fa la la la...) Carolers are at my door (Fa la la la...) Don't wanna hear them anymore Stockings on the mantle The snow's here everyday But it's a green Christmas anyway Red nose on the reindeer and tinsel on the tree But it's a green Christmas for me (3x) (whistling)
